50 Things You Probably Never Knew Existed Shared By “Yup That Exists” Instagram Page
If you ever feel like you’ve seen it all, done it all, bought it all, then you clearly haven’t spent enough time on the internet. We might spend way more time online than your average Panda, but even we get surprised by some of the things we stumble across. To say that these make us do a double-take would be a disservice: there’s a third take and a fourth one, too.
One page that really caught our attention is the ‘Yup That Exists’ project, found on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and elsewhere. ‘Yup That Exists’ documents all the bizarre and unusual things that “you never knew existed.” From strange facts and products that will raise more eyebrows than we can count to wonderfully weird things that you’ll want to share with your friends.
Scroll down for the best of ‘Yup That Exists,’ and upvote your fave pics, dear Pandas. If you have a moment or two, we’d love to hear which of these things you were most surprised by. So drop on by the comment section.

Amazing! I love that they thought about how to be inclusive here. What a great project.
However, you describe the things in this list—peculiar, odd, downright bizarre, or even aesthetically challenged—one fact remains: they’re eye-catching. They stand out. They hook you and reel you in because they’re so far away from the norm.
Earlier, Bored Panda spoke about this with Swiss design experts Jonas Nyffenegger and Sébastien Mathys who run the Ugly Design Instagram project. According to them, they have a love for ugliness that keeps growing, meaning the line between ugliness and beauty gets blurred. And that helps content stand out from the crowd.
"It appears more and more of our followers have completely lost their taste. That’s a good thing. It means they’ll have to find it again. It will most likely be forever changed,” they told us.
Jonas and Sébastien explained to Bored Panda that different designs stand out from the crowd on social media. “When seeing an ugly design rather than perfect aesthetics (as defined in the 21st century)—scrollers takes notice,” they said that unpredictability wows viewers.

after a precious BP post, I can't unsee the 'meow' in homeowner. Help!
Every so-called cat-owner knows, it's really the one that says 'meow' that is the homeowner. (You can buy a sign reading, 'The house is the cat's, we just pay the mortgage.') I'm sorry Calyfan, there is no cure for this problem.

So they need passport to enter their own backyard? What about taxes? Voting?
He probably has to keep his cheese on one side and his guns on the other, or he might be in trouble.
This is close to my home in the Thousand Islands! The owners are super fun and always wave and acknowledge when we go by on the boat!
Looks like a flagpole, but I wonder which flag they fly? Maybe one from each arm?

"Mom I'm going out to play in the back yard".... "Ok son, don't forget your jacket and passport!"
This is so cool! Curious if they have to have two separate documentations (deeds, property taxes, etc.) on both properties? And if they are only Canadian resident, many others from around the world (other than US citizens) would require travel visas just to go to the backyard? So interesting!
You already know the backyard itself cost him $2K a week.
They have to fix some of these ridiculous border lines to stop this nonsense. There are streets where the border goes down the center of the street and you are expected to drive 3 miles to the border crossing and 3 miles back so you can go have dinner with your neighbor across the street.
Sounds like a hassle to have to go throught a toll everytime he wants to walk to and from his backyard! On the other hand this could be used to get around some laws. Incredibly intresting to look up the story behind this!
I wonder how property taxes (at least in New York) are accessed?
So...could they cross the border into their own backyard during the COVID border lockdown?
Does he need to show his passport every time he crosses the country? :)
“Honey, I need to go get the shovel from the backyard” “Don’t forget your passport!”
How unfortunate for him that his backyard is in NY. I wonder what his taxes on that are, here in NY they tax you for every little thing, if they could figure out a way to tax us for the air we breathe they would
I literally haye these people because i am bitter, jealous and financially poor! Someone build a replica of this property somewhere and gift it to me so i may have a teensey tiny ray of sunlight in a dead, dreary, and decaying existence. Thanks in advance. PM me for address where to send deed and keys.
Can't smoke pot in N.Y., go to Canada. Can't legally kill & maim in Canada, take victim to N.Y.
Had to have power on their island! That pole certainly mars the natural beauty.
Do they have duel citizenship? Good thing they don't have to deal with guards to leave their country.
This is incorrecthttps://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-worlds-shortest-international-bridge-esperanca-portugal
Does he need a passport or have to go through customs to move from one location to the other?
"Zavikon Island bridge, which is erroneously titled “the world’s shortest international bridge” by the local guides. In fact, Zavikon Island is completely located in the Canadian territory" https://ourplnt.com/el-marco-shortest-international-bridge/#:~:text=There's%20a%20bridge%20called%20%E2%80%9CEl,international%20bridge%20in%20the%20world.
Hmm, are they paying property tax in two countries, and is the assessed value of the backyard based on the home in another country because that would be fracked up...
wait a second darling, im gonna go to America first, be right back

How does that work? Does he have special permission? Does he have to flash his passport every time he wants to have a cookout?
Some people even take bizarre designs to a whole other level by incorporating them into their homes and gardens. History teacher James Hull and landscape architect Bede Brennan, the founders of another popular Instagram page that celebrates weirdness in gardens, told Bored Panda that just because something has a funny vibe, a weird aesthetic, or is different doesn’t necessarily make it bad.
"We love the way people put themselves out there with their gardens. Gardens are a really personal thing and are always on display out the front of your home. They require huge amounts of effort and upkeep too," they said that even ugliness has artistic and aesthetic merit.
Wait, you can read books in Minecraft? Sorry, I've never played. Mostly Nintendo games and point-and-click adventures on Steam.
"Certainly, there is something about the ugly aesthetic which stands out on Instagram, a garden doesn’t have to be classically beautiful to stand out, make you happy, or be a landmark in the real world either," James and Bede told us that the peculiar really does stand out on people’s social feeds.
how it works: they carefully prune the branches of Kitayama cedar trees, ensuring the remaining shoots grow straight upwards. this results in round and straight timber (taruki) like the trees in the picture. harvesting takes around 20 years and the trees can grow up to 100 shoots at a time.

Epic!!!! (duh, reread the title....owe it to the 1 am Bored panda browsing) I used oatmeal boxes.
I hate things like that and I don't even smoke. I fully support smoking bans in public places where your smoke can harm others but what I do with my body is not the business of a nanny state government.
It's the same with the Youth Hostel at the Rocks in Sydney! Not only can you see the historical dig site underneath, but there are glass cases in the common room displaying various artefacts.

This must've taken quite an effort to make, even the details are all there. I love it!
And also home to several Great Old Ones and other cosmic horrors...
The books will soon be in the British Library, to join the rest of the Parthanon in the British Museum ;o)
Yeah it was a twitter or fb account or something and programmed to read the comments and tags from other people and learn human behaviour from there - they made the mistake of telling people this mf existed 😂

Another awesome post! I'm gonna try and stick to there inspiring posts, and forget about the negative ones.
I'm trying that. It certainly cuts down on browsing time and unnecessary negativity. Sometimes curiosity wins though.
Load More Replies... This entire post is a great argument for arts education and creative problem-solving! So many clever, simple, and cost-effective problem-solving ideas come from outside the box, creative thinkers. Show this thread to anyone who says studying art is a waste of time!
There's a lot of spelling errors, but other than that, I really enjoyed this post!
Great and informative information
interesting and clever !!! Please keep it going. Sincerely, a pleased panda peeper
The ones that specifically mention America are like OooOoOOhhh look at the pretty colors, you can be burned after death if you want!! But ALSO did we mention we let a DUCK race in our marathon?? We look so simple in comparison 😂 but good for that duck tho!
More like this and less of the anti-science blue-haired trans-vaccinated crap you usually spew
I was all happy until #50. Now I am going to have existential nightmares about robot klansmen. I didn't need to learn this fact.
Apart from the spelling errors and factual liberties, I guess this was fine.
More of these please. I skip most pages these days because they are so negative.
So, once again, Japan proves that even their silliest of ideas are still aweing the rest of the world. Meanwhile, they have a serious population decline and everything there just costs so much money.
